* “In a bold but rewarding gambit, Neri imagines the childhood friendship of Harper Lee and Truman Capote, sprinkling in bits of To Kill a Mockingbird and foreshadowing such adult events as their collaborative work on In Cold Blood—yet still making it entirely Neri’s own…. The children’s symbiotic relationship holds center stage. Neri doesn’t shy away from their attributes: Nelle can be a bully and Tru is seen as a “sissy.” But their ability to play to each other’s strengths compensate for any real or perceived weaknesses as they rope others into their fantastic plans. As Neri puts it, ‘They made for a perfect pair of misfits. . . . And that was okay.’ Readers will find it more than okay.” —Booklist, STARRED review * "The charming and elegantly written novel doesn't shy away from issues of mental illness, abandoned children, and racism, but they are woven neatly into the fabric of the characters' lives in the tiny Southern town. An engaging portrait of two children's world before they became famous." —Kirkus, STARRED review "[Tru & Nelle] reads like a classic. Although the middle-grade readers the book is intended for may not be familiar with the work of Capote and Lee, they will be touched by their resilience in the face of dark family and societal situations." —San Francisco Book Review "... this fictional account of the childhood bond between Harper Lee and Truman Capote will entertain readers on its own merits, but it also serves as a love letter to two cultural icons..." —Horn Book Magazine "This story is heartwarming, funny, and beautifully crafted; readers will be sucked in from the very first chapter. " —School Library Journal "If you've ever wanted to run through the backyards of dusty old Maycomb, Alabama, in search of high adventure and mystery, just like Scout, Dill, and Jem, then this is your chance. It's all here! Greg Neri has recreated the childhoods of Harper Lee, Truman Capote, and Jennings Carter— the real-life models for the kids in To Kill a Mockingbird— and spun new adventures for them. You'll join these three friends as they really lived, and help them figure out a case that has the whole town baffled. I hope you're up for some fun!"— Charles J. Shields, author of Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee "Tru & Nelle is a wonderfully imaginative re-creation of the childhoods of two great American writers, but even more, it is a novel that affirms the mysterious and glorious ways that friendship reaches across boundaries of all sorts to claim unexpected kinship."--Gary D. Schmidt, author of Newbery Honor books Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy and The Wednesday Wars “Tru & Nelle is G. Neri’s gloriously realized return to the world of To Kill a Mockingbird. This fictional take on the childhood friendship of Harper Lee and Truman Capote is both funny and deeply poignant—an utterly charming mystery-adventure that is part Huck Finn, part Anne of Green Gables and part Scooby Doo. It just might become a timeless classic itself.” - Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times and International bestselling co-author of the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES novels —

“Absorbing, electrifying, and achingly relatable. Frannie and Tru is a book with a pulse.” —Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda Perfect for fans of Prep and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Frannie and Tru is a dazzling YA debut about a transformative summer in the life of a girl whose idol is not what he seems. Frannie has always idolized her cousin Tru. At seventeen, Tru is charismatic, rich, charming—everything fifteen-year-old Frannie wants to be, and everything she’s not. So when Frannie overhears her parents saying that after a bad coming-out experience Tru will be staying with them in Baltimore for the summer, Frannie is excited and desperate to impress him. But as Frannie gets swept up in Tru’s worldly way of life, she starts to worry that it may all be a mask Tru wears to hide a dark secret. And if Tru isn’t the person Frannie thought he was, what does that mean for the new life she has built with him? Confronting issues of race, class, and sexuality, Karen Hattrup weaves a powerful coming-of-age story that’s at once timeless and immediate, sharply observed, and recognizable to anyone who has ever loved the idea of a person more than the reality.

The Book of Tru is a collection of writings regarding the supreme circumstance of the Melanated Mind written by Jason Williams. This book is intended for “Curious Melanated Minds” whom strive to evolve the circumstance of their mind and soul through the active application of Knowledge of Self and the Universe (The Sciences of Life). The perspective demonstrated in this book should ignite a spark of self-realization within “Curious Melanated Minds” who are on a sincere journey of enlightenment and transformation. The Book of Tru is for the Curious Melanated Minds who ravenously seek knowledge that could be used to develop the supreme circumstance within, and manifest a circumstance as a True and Living God of their individual reality and of the infinitely expanding Universe. In The Book of Tru you will learn how: 1.) The Universal Collective Consciousness, “The Mind of the All”, is a macrocosm of the “I Am” – the consciousness, the imagination, the mind - of the Original Melanated Man and Woman. 2.) The Universal Macrocosmic Mind and The Human Microcosmic Mind could both be described as a Curious Melanated Mind. 3.) The Curious Melanated Mind of the Original Man and Woman is the infinitely expanding creative force of the Universe. 4.) A Curious Melanated Mind with Knowledge of Self and the Universe can consciously manipulate atoms and energies of the Universe at will, functioning in a supreme circumstance as a True and Living God of the infinitely expanding Universe. In other words, the imagination of ‘Hue-Manity’ is GOD, the supreme creative force of the Universe. The Infinite expressions of “I Am” in the Universe are one, and make up “The Mind of The All”. The Original Black Man and Woman, The Universal Melanated Family, are the Original manifestations of God in Human Form. The Mind of the Original Man and Woman is the foundation of the Universe. Everything naturally found in the Universe is an external projection of an internal process that happens within the mind and body of the Original Man and Woman. If you are a Curious Melanated Mind in search of light, you will find an abundant source of it within these pages. The effect of you obtaining this light depends on what you do with it. Use this supreme knowledge to illuminate your journey of self-realization.

Enough about you. Let's talk about me.
